I have been wearing the Lowa Renegade, which I love. Wanted another pair and decided to try this one. This boot looks good and is very sturdy. It has a much stiffer sole and feels harder inside, not much padding. In spite of the description of being narrower, it wasn't narrow enough in the heel to keep my heel from sliding up and down. I guess I'll have to go back to the Renegade.

First of all, I have wide feet and have a hard time finding boots that fit yet do not give me blisters. After ordering nine pairs from various suppliers (and Zappos had the best service!), I stumbled across these. Thank goodness! They fit wonderfully! I wore them around the house and then at work for about a week, with a couple of long walks to break them in. Then the real test - a four-day trek in the Andes. And I wound up with no blisters! They were supremely comfortable; supportive through really rough and rugged terrain; kept my feet dry when we forded shallow streams, and yet were breathable. Although there were other shoes a bit more light weight, the difference was inconsequential. Plus, my feet felt good the entire 10-12 hours of hiking we put in each day. Lowa, I absolutely love your boots. My daughter also owns a pair and we were the two trekkers who did not slip on flat surfaces, who had the best footing on loose shale, and who had no ankle problems. These boots rock!
